Lab tests so far confirm that dandelion root extract causes cancer cells from leukemia blood samples to die off.
“It triggers a very specific kind of suicide,” said Dr. Siyaram Pandey, a biochemist at the University of Windsor, of the process.
The extract only targeted cancer cells and not healthy cells. Dr. Pandey said the same cell suicide result was observed when the dandelion root extract was applied to other types of cancers, including bone cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer and neuroblastoma.

Research conducted in mice has shown no toxicity either, Dr. Pandey said, and it showed the dandelion root extract had no side effects.

My dad just got a bag of dandelion root from one of these doctors on Friday. Since it's still in its natural form, it's considered herbal treatment and they don't need FDA approval to administer to people. My dad actually has information from third parties that this is quite effective, so he's optimistic that it will be beneficial for him as well.

Supposedly you brew a tea from the root, drink it 4 times a day for best results.

It's very cool that a common "weed" could possibly have some potential to treat/cure certain forms of cancer with no side effects like chemo or radiation. Time to start growing dandelions in the garden.
